We are pretty excited here that I made it in the stretch and yawn catergory.
Thanks for everycat that voted for me : )

Now I gotta go rub it in to Toby and Melody.

I am so happy to see so many of my friends that have made it too. How exciting!
Love,
Gordy

Hi Pals!

So I haven't posted in some time now which makes me sad. We still check catster everyday to see whats going on. We have just been busy again. We are moving to a two bedroom apartment in early December which is really good news because we finally will get our cat room : ) Mom has been waiting for this day. Not that we wont get the run of the house anyway but now all of our goodies can be out.

It will be a lot more room for us to run around in too. Our apartment now is only 812 sq feet and our new one is 1126 sq feet and the best part is that it is only two doors down from the one we are in now. Mom and dad plan to live here until he finishes with school and then maybe start looking at houses so for now its a nice place to live.

We still will get direct sunlight too!

Anyway that is why we have been so busy plus birthdays and other reasons too.

Mom has to get our Halloween pages up soon.We have a super cool hat from Hazel Lucy that we got special for this Halloween.

Love,
Gordy

Video

Mom posted the video of me with my head stuck in the empty soda box even with all my protesting.

Mom says please ignore her annoying voice. She always tries not to talk in our videos but this time she did.
Love,
Gordy

Always up to something

Yesterday mom heard a bunch of racket out in the living room but she ignored it. Then all of the sudden I come bursting through the bedroom door with a empty 24 pack of pop on my head.

Mom knew I wasn't in any pain and she choose to take a short video instead of help me get it off (how rude) It was pretty funny to her I guess and Toby just kept walking around me.

I did end up getting it off though. Then my not so smart brother Toby decides he is going to try and stick his head in the hole too. His head was to small to get stuck though.

Mom will put the video up soon. I tried to talk her out of it but I know she will do it anyway.

I am fine now though and I took a nice nap to recover after.

Love,
Gordy

Beautiful weekend

This weekend has been so beautiful which we are thankful about. Mom was gone almost all day on Saturday and we weren't happy about that.

Toby was really needy when she got home too. You know the little ones need lots of attention. Mom always makes sure to give us all lots of attention though.

One thing that has been bothering us is the amount of kitties mom has been hearing about without a home and living outside. Since Friday she has heard about 2 cats. A lady came into her work and said she was looking for a home for a kitty she found outside and she couldnt keep her because she already had four kitties of her own. The lady said she would not bring her to the shelter because she has a friend who works at a shelter and says euthanasia rates are up to 80% there. I wasn't aware of our local shelters being that bad. Most of our shelters are no kill.

Then my grandma told my mom about a kitty that was meowing in the early morning and she thought it was Ruben so she ran out and called Rubens name and he came running. Then she looked outside and there was kitty in the yard. Grandma said the kitty was really pretty but you could tell in his eyes he was suffering so she gave him some food and water and he ate it all. Then he went away. Grandma is going to keep watching for him to make sure he is getting food and water.

Mom can promise one thing, No matter what we will always have a home.

Love,
Gordy

Looking up >^..^

Well the geese are starting to fly. We have a big park with ponds by our house so we usually see a lot of geese but now they are really starting to move. There have probably been about 7 geese flocks fly over our place today alone.

Man they are loud too. Whenever we hear one coming we jump up on the cat tree and watch. Its pretty entertaining.

Well mom finally got our new fall pages under control from yesterdays mess. Mom didn't know there were going to be any updates made so she kept thinking she was doing something wrong. Mom probably worked for a good hour and a half just trying to figure out what she did wrong to my page when she finally decided to check and see if anyone elses were messed up. Just her luck that she would be updating our page at that time.

Hope all is well with all my friends.
Love,
Gordy

Weekends over

Mom says the weekend is over and she has to go back to work tomorrow. This does not make us happy at all. What are we going to do without her all day? We always have to wait till she is home from work to have our wet food. If she would just teach us how to open it ourselves we would be good.

Mom says she is jealous of us in the mornings because she has to get up and go to work while we lounge around all day. What a great life we cats have. Watching birds, Napping, Free food whenever we want and lots of attention. Mom should be jealous of us.

Hope everyfur had a great weekend

Love,
Gordy

Whats in a name?

Well Mom was looking through the forums today and came across this post from one of our pals isadora.
http://www.catster.com/forums/Catster_Diaries/thre ad/627195

So we figured we would post how we got our names.

Mom knew she was getting a kitten and went through tons and tons of names narrowing it down to a few favorites (naming is a big deal you know)

Going through them I think a few were
Levi
Simon
-Mom has always wanted to name her cats after Joseph and his brothers in the Bible since Ruben but clearly that didn't happen.

Leo
Bear- Still one of her favorites

Then she came across Vinnie and loved it. Mom wanted me to have a tough mobster name. Her friend had three cats named Vinnie, Loey and Dominik and she thought that was so cute.

Anyway when she went to pick me up she had her heart set on Vinnie but then she seen a graduation sign that said "Congratulations Gordy" on the way home with me and thats how I got my name.

All that work to find the perfect name and then she finds it on a graduation sign.
MOL I guess thats the way it goes.
Love,
Gordy

Beautiful day

Its a gorgeous day here today. A little breeze, sunny with puffy clouds. Its just purrfect for napping next to the window.

Well I went to the bathroom finally. All is well although mom didn't see anything in my poop but she figures she may have missed it. Mom will keep an eye on me still though.

Mom has finally gotten my rear end cleaned up from the whole thing too. I feel clean and handsome again. Mom is a little mad at her vet office though. First they never called her back the day after she brought me in when she had a bunch of questions. Then I am a little mad that they were talking about my weight (saying I am fat) Dad said he heard them talking about it in the other room. I am purrfectly plump. Mom better not get any ideas about putting me on a diet.

Now mom is sick though. Mom had to stay home from work today and everything. We think she has some kind of stomach flu which is no fun at all. Toby and me are making sure to keep her company though.

Well I hope all is well with my pals. We have been so busy with things these last two weeks mom has hardly let us come on. This week her work hours are back to normal so we will be on more.

Lots of love,
Gordy

Poop?

Ok so mom seperated us yesterday but I did not poop. The problem is that we live in a one bedroom apartment and its really hard to keep us seperate since there isn't that much room anyway.

So mom is pretty sure I went poop. I haven't been acting in pain, I have been eating, I have been playing and acting like my normal self again.

Mom also has been inspecting all of our poop (MOL the things moms do) and has come across some strange shaped poop which makes her believe it is mine. Didn't see an earphone but definitly suspicious.

Mom will keep you updated. As for now I am acting like healthy Gordy again but mom is watching. Mom will FINALLY be home for a few days so she can keep her eye on me.

Thank You agian for everything! We love you so much!
Love,
Gordy

Feelin better

Well I have yet to go to the bathroom but I haven't thrown up since I ate this morning which is good.
Mom is watching me very closely though. I am playing and acting normal so thats also good news.

Mom had to lock Melody and Toby up in the bedroom today to see if I would go potty. I think they might be mad about it.

Please keep praying that I pass this thing so we can move on with life.
Thanks so much for all the purrs, comments and gifts.
We love you
Gordy

So... I ate an ear phone

Yes friends you heard this right. When mom came home from work today she found lots of surprises. Vomit all over was the first indication something was up but who was it? Then she found me straining outside the litter box like I was trying to poop. I would never do this of course so she knew something was up.

In a panic she called the vet and got me in ASAP. Mom looked under my tail and I growled and hissed and she seen poop on my butt. Then Toby came by me and I hissed at him too. I was feelin pretty sick and mom kept finding me straining to poop all over the house. So off to the vet we went.

After about 4 hours of x rays, fluids and stuff they decided that the object is moving on its own and sent me home with observation.

I did end up pooping at the vets which was good. Everyone at the vet kept saying how handsome and gorgeous I was and they all said I was the perfect gentalman.

I threw up once since I got home so mom is going to keep a close eye on me. Hopefully I just pass the object soon so we can all move on. We dont know for sure that its an ear phone cover but dad is missing one and it looked like that in the x ray.


Please say a little prayer for me that everything goes well. If I dont pass it will need surgery which will cost a ton.

Lots of love,
Gordy


P.S. Mom found one of dads earphones on the floor this morning and thought to herself, Gordy would probably eat that. She of course picked it up but the otherone is missing.

Work and Weddings

Mom has been gone a lot lately. It stinks for us because we miss her so much.

I know she would rather be with us though. Mom was in a wedding on Saturday so there were rehearsal dinners, Gift openings, early mornings, picking up tuxes and so on. Then this week she is working for someone so she has more hours then usual. Mom just cant wait to get back to her normal schedual and neither can we.

Hopefully next week we will be able to be on catster more.
Love,
Gordy

Perfect by day, Naughty by night

I am moms sweet kitty, The one she can hold and cuddle and kiss. Toby HATES being held and kissed unless it is on his terms. I am always ready for a good cuddle.

I am perfect during the day but at night I am by far the naughtiest. I meow all night long. Its not a loud meow but one just loud enough to wake mom up. Its almost like I am wispering, mom?...Mom?...MOM!

Dad never wakes up which is a good thing but I keep mom up all night some nights.

I am also the one who gets into things at night. Mom hears cupboards opening, Stuff falling off the tables, Clawing on the hamper and everytime she looks... there I am.

The worst thing is when I jump on her night stand. Its a tall night stand and when I jump off the whole thing falls, Lamp included to the ground making a huge crash.

Thats why I am perfect by day and naughty by night
Love,
Gordy

I'm so Pretty, Oh so Pretty

So I told you mom got those cat bath wipes from petco right? Mom says they work wonders. I had some dander and my fur was looking a little greesy even though mom brushes me every day. My fur is gorgeous, Dander free and the softest mom has ever felt it.

Toby and Melody get wiped down with them too and their coats are really shiny and soft as well. Mom has been using one a day on us and then brushing us about 15 minutes later.

I feel man pretty

Love,
Gordy

Silly Mom

So Everyone who knows mom knows this women is obsessed with cats.

The people at her work think she is so funny because of this. Mom put up a picture of me behind the desk where the patients check in right next to all the baby photos. Its funny because more people comment on me then the baby photos (wouldn't you?)

So today mom was being trained in on something when she heard someone asking about me to one of the other girls at the front desk. Mom tried REALLY hard to stay focused on the training but the lady kept saying how beautiful I was and asking about what kind of cat I was and so on. Mom couldn't concentrate on the training anymore and slowly inched away to talk to the lady (the training person didn't even notice at first MOL...She just kept talking)

Then she pulled out her picture of Toby too and the lady raved about him. Mom being oh so proud of us told the lady everything about Snowshoes and Norwegian forest cats. The women was so impressed by us she wrote down our breeds to research.

Mom is always happy to talk about us. Most of moms co-workers are Dog people and dont like cats which makes mom mad. Oh well they dont know what they are missing. One of her co-workers even had the guts to say while looking at our pictures "ew you like cats? I cant stand them". Needless to say Mom had to hold her words back, Smile and say " Yes! I love them like their my children"
Lots of love,
Gordy

Storms and pillow hogs

Last night was not a good night. We had tornado warnings and storms all night. Nothing bad ended up hitting us but we did have rain and lightnig.

Mom got up in the middle of the night and hit her knee really hard on the bed. Then Toby took my pillow so I couldn't sleep by her and make her feel better. I ONLY go on the bed if I am the first one on there. Mom was really craby though after she hit her knee. Mom wouldn't even let Melody run up and down her body because of it. I dont understand why.

Well hopefully tonight I can claim my pillow again
Love,
Gordy

Another surprise for mom

This morning when mom woke up she realized that she had no pillows left. When she looked up she seen both me and Toby sleeping all cuddled up on her pillow. Well that of course put an end to her having a pillow the rest of the night.

Mom has never seen us cuddle like that. It was so sweet! Toby had his neck laying across the top of my head. Mom took pictures and will add them later.

So mom got a rough night of sleep but we slept quite well which is really whats important right?

Lots of love,
Gordy

What is that Banging?

This morning was so peaceful, watching birds, feeling the wind on our fur by the window.
Now all of the sudden someone is banging. Mom says they are fixing the roof of one of our garages.

Around here I am pretty much the big shot, the dominant one, the king if you will... but this banging is freaking me out more then anyone else. I am all the way back in the kitchen as far away from the window as possible. My not so smart sister is sitting right next to the window cleaning herself (whats wrong with her?)

Toby is hanging out by me but I think its because he wants to play. Play at a time like this? My ears are going in all differn't directions trying to figure out what this noise is.

When will it stop?
Love,
Gordy

Super cool Cats

Ok so I told you once that by some crazy chance mom ended up getting me and Toby from the same lady who had posted an add in the paper.

She does rescue work through a vet clinic and also finds kitties who need places to go in a hurry.

Well now that cat family is on catster. The very cats we got to hang out with when we were babies. They all have such cool stories because she does rescue work. They are just beautiful cats and she also has some very cool doggies too.



Casey Jones!
- Wegie!
Chandris sterling!
-mom has pictures of Toby with this kitty : )

Cary Grant!
- Snowshoe
Cameo!
- Pretty Snowshoe

Crockett!
- Beautiful Maine coon

Chiona!
- Stunning Markings

Chivalry!
-mom is totally in love with this cats mane

Cazhmir!
-Kitty with a sad story but a happy ending

Charisse!

This family has a wonderful mom. Without her who knows where we would be. I lost my mom at birth and I was bottle fed until I was healthy enough for her to find me a home.
Toby was born into a home where they were not supposed to have any cats and so they were forced to get rid of the kittens too early and she took him in and got him healthy too.

We love her!

Gordy

DDP

Wow I am a daily diary pick today. I feel so special to be honored that way. Thank you catster for making my day : )

So yesterday mom came home with a petco bag which usually means something good. We all gathered round and what she pulled out was not treats, not toys, not any type of wet food but a box of cat bath wipes.

Now friends there is usually not a time when a petco bag comes into the house that we are disappointed but yesterday when mom pulled out the first little damp cloth and started wiping my fur with it I was disgusted.

Mom knows a cat on another website (not nearly as cool as catster) that has the most beautiful fur she has every seen and his mom uses these on him after she brushes him everyday. I think my fur is just fine but mom thinks I have dander which this stuff is supposed to help.

Well at least Toby and Melody got a cat bath too and neither of them were too crazy about it either MOL. Toby kept shaking his feet around. I dont get why cause it is just a little damp cloth and not like he fell into a big tub of water. I think he might be a little bit crazy though.

Oh the things our parents put us through.

Thanks again for making me DDP!
Lots of love,
Gordy

Birds, wind and cool weather

So we live in an apartment on the top floor and we have HUGE windows and doors. Thats one of our favorite thing about this apartment. We face the west and get tons of natural sunlight in the evening where we can all sunbathe.

On the patio the birds come right up to the door. When mom has the sliding glass door open the little things come right up to our nose. Its drives us crazy. Mom never thought we would get birds on the top floor of an apartment building. We do have a lot of nature around us though.

Its been really cool and windy here for beginning of August. Its almost Fall like already. We like fall because we can keep the windows open and the leaves are really pretty but that means Winter could be really cold too.

Its also been really windy here. Last night we got a big rain storm and Dad insisted on leaving the window open and our beds got all wet. Mom got to say I told you so on that one.

Well I have lots of bird watching to do.

Lots of love,
Gordy

Another entry to the portal?

I think mom may have found another entry to the portal that my friend Kingsley was talking about.
The portal of lost toys!

Today mom was digging under our couch and she just kept pulling out our lost toys.
She found my springs, Gordys Mice, and Melodys favorite ball with the fake racoon tail on it. It was so exciting! I hope we dont loose anymore toys though. We were running pretty low and mom kept having to buy us new ones. Now our toy box is overflowing again.

Mom got out Da bird toy today to play with us and Toby caught it. He has been dragging it around and growling at Melody because she keeps trying to take it.

Funny siblings I have
Love,
Gordy

Hanging out

Yesterday I wrote an entry about my look a likes and I forgot one.
My pal Kingsley!


Cant believe I forgot about him. He found the portal of the land of lost toys! Can you believe it? There is even a picture of it there. I was hoping he could find my favorite mouse and send it too me but I guess there are a lot of toys in that portal.

Anyway its been pretty boring around here lately. Mom works her 10 hour shifts on Monday and Tuesday so we act neglected on those evenings when she gets home.

She did go any buy us a bunch of new toys at petco last night so we forgave her this week.

Wednesdays and Thursdays are the best thought because she gets to spend LOTS of time with us. Today when she got home I came running out to see her and she picked me up and cuddled me. It always makes moms heart mealt when we do that.

Toby is still being troublesome with digging in the cat fountain. He digs so viciously and I just dont get why. He only nocked it over once though. Mom found out she had to keep it filled to the top so Its to heavy to tip.

Well I have lots to do so I will say goodbye for now.
Lots of love,
Gordy

Look alikes

I have found a few look a likes here on catster lately.

My beautiful friend Tethys!

and her brofur Junior


My long time friends Smudge and Sissel
too

Do you have a kitty look alike? My mom hasn't found one for Toby yet.

Love,
Gordy

New friends, Old Friends

Make new friends but keep the old one is Silver and the other is Gold

So as you know I recently talked about my friend Wilbert the other kitty with a puppy stuffed animal.

Guess what? He has the cutest little baby sister too. Her name is Lenore

Seriously isn't she cute?

And to top it off he has an orangie brother named Murray

So anyway I always get excited when I make new friends. They have really cool pictures too and seem like a pretty cool family. You should stop by their pages if you have a chance.

Lots of love,
Gordy

Gone

Mom was Gone ALL day yesterday. They got up early and packed up some things, turned our kitty cd on and said she would be back later.

How Dare they leave us here all day like that. I missed her so much. When we hear the lock on the door turn we all gather around the door and wait for them to come in.

Mom says she hates leaving us but in most cases we probably wouldn't want to go where they are going. Anyway mom told me some stories about where they went.

Mom said they went to visit grandma and grandpa at a campground. At this campground she was surprised to see a kitty wondering around. It was on a harness but no leash and no people. It was sitting right in the road drinking from a puddle. Mom had to get out and move the kitty into the campsite it was near.

Mom said there were TONS of doggies around too which made mom even more scared for the kitty.

Then they went to the little town and there were more kitties wondering around. One looked just like me only skinny with mats. Mom was so worried about it. Mom doesn't understand how someone could let there kitty in the streets of a busy little town. Mom would be freaking out if we even got lost outside.

Anyway that was about it. When they got home we got our yummy wet food and we forgave her. Thats what we were waiting for all day anyway MOL
Lots of love,
Gordy

Puppy Cat

I found out I am not the only cat with a puppy stuffed animal. Look! My new friend Wilbert is a puppy cat too!

Wilbert!

I have seen many kitties that have stuffed animals lately.
Do you have one?
Lots of love,
Gordy

Oh I dont know how mom forgot but my brother Toby is also a puppycat. He however hasn't been as kind to his puppy as you can see from the picture.

Toby the puppycat!

Feathers, Feathers Everywhere

Hello!
Its me Gordy just checkin in. Yesterday mom came home from the store with a few new cool toys. Mom got us a new feather for our "da bird" cat toy. Man they must make a hauling on refills for that thing. The refills are like $7 dollars alone and we have gone through 3 in the last month. We love it so much that mom has to keep buying more though.

Then she got us a little feather on a stick that we all just LOVE. Mom also got us a Pawbreaker because she remembered how much dads kitty Milo loved his but none of us were crazy over it. Mom doesn't understand how every single cat she has ever had doesn't like catnip. I guess we are just a weird bunch.

Well its about Naptime. We all have our spots now for naptime. Toby sleeps in the little grey bed on the floor. I sleep in the leopard cat tent and Melody sleeps in the little basket.

Lots of love,
Gordy >^..^< Meow

Moms Morning surprise

Last night mom woke up and did her normal shifting around to get comfortable again when she realized that I was sleeping right next to her head under her pillow. Mom was sooo excited because I am her little shadow but I normally dont sleep on the bed by her.

Well she went back to bed and when she woke up this morning I was STILL there. My head was under hers under the pillow so she freaked out that she had been squishing it all night but I was fine.

Then it even got better when Toby jumped on the bed and we started grooming eachother. It was the sweetest thing mom had ever seen, Her boycats grooming eachother like good Brothers.

Anyway It was a great start to the day.
Lots of love,
Gordy

My fight with the green flower catnip pillow

This is where the fight began, as you can see from the picture the pillow was taunting me. Mom told me it had been saying bad things about me all day. It was very intimidating but no pillow will be talking about me that way.

The fight!

Next you will see me bunny kicking the pillow. Catnip was flying everwhere dear friends.

The Bunny Kick!

Next I went in for my death bite move and took control over the fight for good.

The death bite!

The final resting place of the green flower catnip pillow. I hope all of the remaining catnip pillows will remember this day.
Resting place!
and then I took a victory nap : )

The Victory Nap!

Overall is was a pretty good day

Lots of love,
Gordy

Thanks!

Hey just wanted to say thank you so much for my crowns Blade and Mr. Somebody. I feel so special to have them on my page.

So we have a LOT of toys but mom rotates them in and out of our playtimes because we get bored otherwise. Now that I am getting older (only 2) I dont play as much as I used to but I love watching the other two play. Mom has a harder time finding toys I like to play with.

Anyway we got these homemade catnip pillows for christmas a few years ago and mom hasn't had them out in a while because I wasn't too crazy about them when we got them. Wow mom threw one out to me and I have been going crazy over it all day, Bunny kicking it and carrying it around.

Mom took some pictures of me playing with it too.

Lots of love,
Gordy

Do you think?

I have been thinking about something a lot lately.

Ok so mom has noticed that I have been ALOT more cuddly with her and Toby since he got neutered. I was always pretty cuddly before mom got Toby but then I stopped. I NEVER cuddled with Toby at all before he was neutered either but now its all changed.

Do you think having an un neutered male cat could have an effect on the behavior of a neutered male cat in the house? Maybe I felt more threatened by Toby before he got neutered or something? I am acting compleatly different to Toby now.

Just a thought anyway

Happy 4th of July everyone! Be safe and make sure you get some of that Steak.
Love.
Gordy

Where do we sleep? Now thats a question

Mom was reading the new catster question asking where we sleep.
WELL we all sleep in differen't places at differen't times. We are of course allowed in the bed and Toby sleeps there most often. I however choose to sleep on the cat tree by the bed or on one of the three beds on the floor next to them.
Every night that is where you can find me. Mom doesn't know why I dont sleep on the bed but whatever.
Melody sleeps on the Katimanjaro or in the smaller cat tree tunnel by the window.

Just some random thoughts.

Toby gets neutered tomorrow : ( poor little guy doesn't even know whats coming.

Lots of love,
Gordy

Photo Comments

So we are liking this new photo comment thing. We have always wanted to be able to tell our friends when we like a new photo of theirs.
The only thing we dont like is that you have to go to the catster plus photo book to do it. So that must mean that if somecat doesn't have catster plus then you dont get to comment.
Not sure how I like that aspect.

Anyhow we are happy catster HQ answered our requests to have this option. Now I just wish they would do something with the whole adding pictures/deleating pictures deal. Mom has LOTS and we mean LOTS and LOTS of pictures of us and she is always taking more. The only problem is that mom hates adding them here because of the way you have to delete on picture at a time. It takes SOOOO long and drives mom crazy. Cant they just let you deleate more then one at a time please??

Just wanted to share my thoughts
Love always,
Gordy boy

The Makings of a summer party

Hey thanks to my pals who gave me rosettes. I have the makings of a summer party with the Watermelon, Steak, Summer drink and beach ball.
Now all of my friends can come over and party.
Love,
Gordy

Gone

Our birdies are gone now : ( they grew up and left the nest. Mom bird is gone too. Its sad but we are also happy they were healthy enough to leave.

Meanwhile I have been dealing with little Toby. Talk about too much energy. That cat is CRAZY! He respects me though so thats good.

Mom says I am the King of the house. Grandma told her a story about when she was over last that mom really liked and I thought would share it with you.
Here is her email:
Here's a funny thing that happened with your cats when I was over there yesterday. Melody and Toby were playing and it was steadily getting wilder and wilder, until they both were running around and around through the kitchen and into the living room and back into the kitchen, etc., etc. One of them (don't know which one) kind of let out a yowl. That's when Joe stepped in to "break it up". Only before he got there, GORDY stepped in, stood between them and "broke it up". Everybody instantly stopped in their tracks and there was complete dead silence with Gordy in the middle and each of the other cats frozen on their spots. For all the world, Gordy looked just like the Lion King putting his subordinates in their place. Toby and Melody had complete respect for him, and slowly each of them just backed away and were fine after that. But it was the funniest interaction I think I've ever seen between some cats. It was obvious that at your place, Gordy RULES!!!!!!!!! It was so funny, I'm still thinking about it! Does that happen often? Has it ever happened before?

Yeah I'm kinda big around here MOL

Anyway lots of love to all my pals
Gordy

I gots kissies too

Toby was checking his page earlier and he had all kinds of kisses on his page. Now its my turn and I have kisses too. Thank you for all the kisses and kind notes *blushes* I feel so Loved.

Lots of love,
Gordy

Kiss me

Mom added a kissing booth on my page. Make sure to leave me a smooch. Toby, Ruben and Melody have one too.
We love kisses!
Love,
Gordy

Birds Everywhere

So we live on the third (top) floor of an apartment building and mom thought we wouldn't get any birds up here but boy was she WRONG. Mom put up a bird feeder and we have tons of birds. The coolest thing is that she has two hanging plants and there is a birds nest in BOTH of them.
One is a mourning doves nest with Three large eggs and the other is a wren of some kind and that has four eggs. We watch those birds all day long. Mom has to be very careful about watering those plants too.

Well I have some major bird watching to do
'Love,
Gordy

Summer like days >^..^

Well its finally sunny, warm and well...Windy. We have had some very windy days lately. Mom hates it but not much she can do.

Mom took us over to my old house to go outside and hopefully furminate me again. Well I freaked out about going outside. I do this every year and then all of the sudden im fine and alls I want is to be outside.

I got to hang out with the rubster again like the old days. He seems to be doing pretty good. I also managed to chew up one of moms nephews toys before we left. I am always so distructive. I'm definitly moms naughty cat.

Thanks to all my pals for the birthday wishes. I had a great day and I really appreciate it.

We got to join some new groups this week that we are excited about. Its so much fun when you can find a group that is active and fun.
Lots of love,
Gordy

Rainy days and birds and catching up on thank yous

Well today was definitly a rainy day but the good thing about that is the birds come out. We got a new bird feeder hanging from our balcony now. Melody and I sit and watch all day for birds.

Mom has been reading the Warriors books now. Mom found out my warrior name would be the brave Fuzzynose.... can you believe that??? FUZZYNOSE. I hope Tabby doesn't find out or she is going to MOL.

Thanks to my sweet Tabby for the kissy lips. I am so lucky to have such a great girl. Tabby always makes me feel special.

Also thanks so much to my catster brother Smudge for the little lady bug. I have been chasing him all around and I have to be honest... I ate him.


Thanks to Pete, High hope, Apollo and the family of The family of Roxy (9/11/2002 - 5/18/2008), Twity, Sparky and Clifford for the bunnies. Boy have the multiplied since I got them. Very fuzzy and warm to sleep with. Thanks also to pete for the Egg too.

Thank you to Riley for the yummy shrimp *gulps it down in one bite* how did you know its my favorite?

Waffles it was so thoughtful of you to send me a cross rosette. Its one of my favorite rosettes so far. Remembering the true meaning of Easter.

Thanks to the cutest little fuzzy kittens (spuds kittens) for the beautiful Lilly. I can still smell it and it makes me happy because it reminds me of spring.

Last but not least thank you to The family of Mathis der Meowler,
Mathis, Belle, Antoine, Entrechat, Figaro, Kragen, Dusty & Clara for the kind words about my pictures and for the happy Easter wishes. It was so kind of you to paint me such a beautiful egg.

Ok I think I am caught up. I promise not to get that far behind again. Mom thinks its so important for us to thank everykit because it means so much.
Love,
Gordy (fuzzynose)

Naughty Kitties

Hello Friends!
Mom has been kicking us out of the bedroom lately because we are too noisy.
Mainly because we live in an apartment now and we are on the top level. Well once in awhile when we are doing our daily and nightly romp mom hears the neighbors under us banging on the ceiling.
Mom figures at least if she keeps us from running across the bedroom floor maybe the people below us will be able to get some sleep.

I mean what else is mom supposed to do? We are cats! Cats are allowed in the building so really there is nothing wrong.
Oh well

Other then that things have been well. Between sun bathing and eating I have been watching those crazy birds. They come and sit on our deck and taunt me. I'm really the only one that notices them which surprises mom.
Melody is too "slow" to notice them (we think there is something a little off about her) and Toby is too crazy to stop and focus on anything MOL.

Well I have to get back to my romp
Love,
Gordy

Furminated

Well today mom came home gleeming over the new brush she got me. I'm sure you have all heard of the Furminator before.
That thing is crazy! Mom had fur clumps all over the house. Mom even took pictures because she couldnt believe all the hair.

It was quite the mess I'll tell you. Toby was rolling around in it, I was trying to eat it and mom was trying not too MOL. Fur was flying all over the place. Mom was even pulling it out of her eye lashes because I guess we have mass static here.

Anyway I have been furminated : ) I look so much better too.

Love,
Gordy

Snow!!?

Yes we got more snow here today. It shouldn't stick around for long though. I am sooo ready for spring. I want the windows open and the birds a chirping agian.

Anyway mom got more pictures of baby Toby and a few of me too.
Check him out if you get a chance.
He is growing up so fast but boy does that kid have a personality.

TOBY

Love,
Gordy

Nap time and birds!

So today mom woke up to me and Melody pearched on our cat tree in the bedroom. Neither of us were moving an inch and we were intently looking the same direction.

Then mom seen a little bird hovering outside the window almost like he was teasing us. We have a tree right outside the apartment window that they have been hanging out in. They also perch on the roof of our patio which is in perfect view. It kept us busy for most of the day.

Then I was taking a nap in the sun when mom came in and started flashing that stupid camera again. She got some good pictures of us though.
Check out baby Toby if you haven't already. He is already growing so much.
He is getting a little darker too.

TOBY

Well lots of love,
Gordy

New Cat tree

We got a super cool new cat tree yesterday. Moms brother in law made it for us.
It goes from floor to ceiling and five large shelves. There is a giant shelf on top for us to sleep on.
We love it! Check it out on the last page of my catster plus photobook.
Baby Toby has some in his photo book too.
Well the birds are chirping and the sun is shining. Its going to be a good day.
Love,
Gordy

Warmer weather, Baby brothers and kitten food

Hello friends!

So as you know I got a new baby brother named Toby. Talk about high energy. That little guy is crazy! He is running and jumping and flipping all over. Im a little jealous cause mom got out the old cat tunnel I used to play in for him. I dont fit anymore! Well I managed to jam myself in there but its not very comfortable. I used to sleep in that thing everyday. Maybe I need to loose some weight.

Its been warming up around here finally. Mom has been opening that windows and sliding glass door for us to get fresh air. I always get really freaked out when mom first opens the windows in the spring but then I cant get enough of it. Mom put our little cat tree by the sliding glass door and we LOVE it.

The only thing that stinks is that now we live in an apartment we have no yard to go in. Maybe mom can take us over to grandma and grandpas to go outside again. They live like two minutes away. Mom still has our kitty stroller too.

I have been eating Tobys baby food as much as mom has tried to keep us away. Melody and I are very sneaky about it too. Melody tips the bowl so the food falls on the ground (mom can hear our tags on the bowl otherwise) Then we eat it very quietly. Why does it taste so much better then our food??? Why does Toby only get it? He just tries to eat our food. Nothing can ever be simple.
Well I have to get to sleep now.
Lots of love,
Gordy boy

More pictures and mom learns more about my background

So mom talked to the kind foster lady who she got both me and Toby from.
Mom asked about my background and if she knew much about me. Its such a blessing to finally get to hear where I came from.

Here is the note she wrote mom

HI!
YES, IT IS SO COOL!
I KNOW I MUST HAVE STARED AT YOU WHEN WE FIRST MET, BECAUSE I JUST
FELT LIKE I HAD SEEN YOU BEFORE, BUT I COULDN'T PLACE IT.
HERE ARE MORE PICTURES OF GORDY WITH RESCUE GIRLS. HE IS NOT RELATED
TO THEM, AND THEY WERE TOO YOUNG TO GO TO THEIR NEW HOMES THEN.
he was a rescue..his mom died and he was the last of the litter,
believe it or not!
he was bottle fed, and I took him in from the folks who were raising
them after he got old enough to get off the bottle. i almost kept him
for myself because he was so cute!
I HAVE A FEW MORE BABY PICTURES TO SEND, EVEN THOUGH THEY LOOK ALOT
ALIKE I FIGURED IF IT WERE ME I WOULD WANT TO SEE THEM. I HOPE YOU
ENJOY THE PICTURES! i love to look at them, and when you get any added
to your catster page i want to see them! i sure am glad you put all
that on there or i would never have known you were the one who got
Gordy.
it was your description of the way you came to my house that set it in
stone for me because that i remember very well!
also the pictures of Gordy just looked so much like a baby boy i
had...it just seemed to fit!
PLEASE KEEP IN TOUCH!

Isnt it interesting to hear that story? Mom is just so thankful for this. Without catster the foster mom wouldn't have recognized me or my story and mom would never know all of this information.

Thanks Catster!
Love,
Gordy
P.S. I am going to put some more of the pictures she sent in my photobook.

HOLY CATZ mom almost wet her pants

So as you all know we recently added a family member named Toby. He is a real cutie so check him out if you get a chance.

So to the story that almost made mom pee (sorry for being so blunt but its true)
Mom sent the kind foster lady who we found Toby through all of our catster pages so she could see us and our family. WELL she got a message from her saying that she is the one who we got me from too : 0
NO WAY RIGHT? Mom honestly thought there was no way that it could be true until she sent pictures of me when I was a kitten. Now mom knows me right? Im her baby, Her pride and joy. There is no way that those pictures were not of me. You know when you look in a sweet kittys eyes for almost two years that its your cat.

So here we are almost two years later getting baby Toby randomly from the same kind lady. Mom kept telling dad that she wanted to find the same lady she got me from and get another kitten from her because I am such a special guy and what happens? Fate steps in and we did.

Its like me and Toby are step brothers or something. Super dooper cool!
Anyway mom wanted to share that story. Mom posted the pictures of me that the foster lady sent her on my caster plus photo book. I was such a little cutie.
Lots of love,
Gordy

Check out my new video!

Hey friends! Mom posted a new video of me playing in the sink. It was super fun : )

Anyway cool that I am diary pick of the day! Now cats can see my patriotic page too.

Thanks Catster for making me feel super special today!

Thank you to all of my pals leaving me gifts and Rosettes too. I really love you kitties.

I wont shush up!

So mom has been taking me outside almost everyday now but now I wont shut up when i'm inside. Whenever she comes home I run to the door and meow constantly.
Mom says that I do it while she is away and Grandma and Grandpa are home. They are getting annoyed with it.
Mom cant decide what she should do. Should she stop bringing me outside on my leash completely? I love it so much but they cant take the meowing anymore!
Is there a solution to this problem?
Mom has created a monster
Well lots of love,
Gordy

Summer

I am so glad summer is finally here. Mom took us outside again today. I chased bugs and Ruben chased my leash around. I gotta tell you I dont think he is all there but I love him anyway.

It was really nice out today but we only got to go out for a little while cause mom had to work at her internship all day. Mom tells us she graduates from college on Thursday whatever that means. Next she has to find a career.

Well I am at the tip top of my Katimanjaro ready to drift off so I better go.
Lots of love,
Gordy

Outside Adventures- New videos!

Today mom brought us outside again. Mom took some video's that we put on our page if you have time to watch them. Just some random creatures I encountered. There was one very angry squirrel on the video too.
The other video is of me and Ruben. I was chasing a bug around the yard.
No music or anything but mom thought the natural sounds were pretty.

Hope you watch them if you get a chance.
Love,
Gordy

Bad weather

Oh no! Tonight we are having bad weather. Me and rubes were just chillin by the window tonight and all of the sudden it got VERY windy. Mom came over and shut the window and in a few seconds she was lugging us down stairs.
Rubes and me are always moms first priority when it comes to bad weather so she brought us downstairs and locked us in the basement
: (
Mom always keeps my leash and harness and Ruben's cat carrier out in the basement in case a tornado comes and she needs to transport us safely.
The first round is over but I guess we are getting another round later tonight.
Say some purrs for us to be OK tonight OK?
Love,
Gordy

Love it!

I just have to say I love the new advantage commercial with the orange cat playing outside to In the Jungle.
Super cute man!
Love,
Gordy

Tomorrow

Guess what?? Tomorrow is my 1st birthday! Mom cant believe how fast time went.
The first day home I was just a little fuzz ball. I slept on mom's neck the whole night. Now I am 15lbs and all grown up.
Thank you to all my friends who have left me rosettes, Stars and Gifts. I love you all and am so lucky to have you.
Lots of love,
Gordy

Updated pages

We got new backgrounds on our page. Mom thinks they are pretty cool but so is the music. Check it out if you get a chance.
Lots of love to all my pals. Thank you for the rosettes and messages. Mom has been super busy with wedding planning and internships. Thank you sweet Tabi for my Easter card too. I am so lucky to have you cutie.
Love,
Gordy

New Collars and ID tags!

Woohoo Mom ordered our new collars and ID tags today. Mom is mildly obsessed with collars for some reason. She also likes to get new ID tags for us but has been ordering from animalstars.com which are gorgeous but EXPENSIVE. So she is trying a new place just to see if she likes them.
Pet tags!

We also like this place and may try it sometime
cat grace!

We just got Brown and black pawprints this time around since we have colored ones from animal stars already.


Then I got this collar
Classy Bronze silk!

and Ruben is getting this one

sassy Multi cats!


Mom took some more pictures of us on our Katimanjaro that she will post soon.
Life is good!
Lots of love,

The Tom Cats Club

So its been a long time since Ruben has done anything new to the Tom cats club. I decided to bite him in the tail and tell him to re open it for all of us guys.
If you are interested in some fun times hanging out with the guys you should join.
We are going to be adding some upcoming events soon too.
Well I have to get some sleep. Me and Rubes have been working all day on cleaning up the club.
Lots of love,
Gordy

Here is the group if you want to join. We promise lots of fun.


The Tom cats club !

Oh how I have grown

First I would like to thank whoever gave me so many treats today. I was just thinking that I better watch my treat intake because I only had two left. Now I can eat as many as I want.
Thank you to the sweet kitty or kitties who did that for me.

Today mom decided to watch my videos on my page again. Oh I was such a cute little fluffy kitten.
She remembers the day when she brought me home. I hissed at Ruben and I was scared of Misty. Mom set me up on the cat tree and showed me where the food was.

I was fascinated by the window and the cat tree.

Ruben was such a good brother to me. He only hissed if I was biting him and wouldn't leave him alone. He was very patient and excepting of me.

Mom remembers that the first night home I slept right on her neck and purred all night. I would get up and switch positions on her neck. It was the sweetest thing.

By the second night I was already being independent and I slept at the end of the bed.

Now I have turned into this big beautiful kitty. I am so much bigger then Ruben already. I tackled him today (poor guy) when he was scratching the cat tree. Just a full on football tackle.

Well I guess I have to go get into some mischief now.

Lots of love,
Gordy

Baby Olivia

Ruben already wrote about this yesterday but we are getting a new baby cousin.
Her name is Olivia and she is soo adorable.
She is a Maine coon kitten and coming home from the cattery in March. We are so excited about her home coming.
Meanwhile check her out on her very own catster page! There is nothing funner then watching a kitten grow up on catster.

Baby Olivia!

There is the cutest picture of her during a bath. What could be more adorable then a wet little kitten?

Lots of love,
Gordy

Poo Pant and weird nicknames

I was just thinking today that my mom calls us a lot of weird and sometimes gross names. Does anyone else have moms that call them something with the word poo in it?
Mom obviously thinks we are adorable but for some reason half the names she calls us has the word poo in it.
Does mom like talking about Poo? No
Do we smell like poo? Sometimes I do : ( *blushes* but that's beside the point
Do we look like poo? Ruben kinda looks like a poo pile when he is sitting *MOL* no just kiddin.

So whats with the poo names? Its not cute, its not flattering and it doesn't make any sense.
Mom cant you come up with something better? And I'm not talking about G00shy bear either cause that's just embarrassing.

Please tell me some of your parents call you weird names too.
Lots of love,
Gordy

I wants my Katimanjaro!

Well we have been very patient waiting for our Katimanjaro to come. They are supposed to be working on it this week so that's good news. I know a few cats here on catster that have ordered from playtime workshop and are happy with their trees so we are trying to be patient. Hopefully it will come soon.

ANYWAY we have a new kitty cousin named Olivia. She just got a catster page. Stop in and check her out, she is really cute.

Outing

Today mom packed me up in the pink (yes pink) and polka dotted carry bag she has. My head pokes out and off we go to our destination.
Mom said we were going to go and visit Milo's house since we are going to be brothers.
Long story short Milo got scared hissed and ran away. I guess I'm pretty intimidating.
Milo's Grandparents were there and they said I was the prettiest kitty. It made me feel pretty good.
Mom also let me put my paw in the snow. I didn't show much emotion about it though.
Still waiting for our Cat tree. The nice man said it was on his work load list for this week. Hopefully it will be here soon.
Lots of love,
Gordy

American Idol

OK so to be honest this is the first year mom has watched American Idol from the beginning.

She really likes Robbie the best since she is a big fan of rock music and he has a great voice.

She also likes the guy with the dread locks and Micheal too.

The young kid (the one Simon liked) is pretty good but she fears that because there are so many teenie boppers that watch the show he will have an unfair advantage.

I guess we will watch and see
Love,
Gordy

All moved around

Well last night mom moved everything around in her room. She got rid of her big dresser and bought a smaller TV stand. Now our cat trees are on the opposite wall and my bed is on the second level that looks out the window.
Mom says she had to do all of this because our condo should be coming soon and she needed to make room for it.
Mom had to put our catit away for awhile though and get out our old bowl for water. She didn't like the only option she had for putting it. We will get it back after the Katimanjaro comes.
We have so much room now and moms bed is pushed into the corner where it belongs MOL.
Lots of love,
Gordy

So boring.

I sleep lots today. Mom came up to me and tickled my stomach and said gooshy bear. She calls me gooshy bear and I dont know why.

Mom went to something she called a Bday party yesterday for her little Godchild. There she learn about thing called webkinz. I heard her say she wants one. They are for kids but she still wants to collect all the cats. Mom so childish sometimes.

Well I guess I will go watch for birds. They haven't been out because of intense cold.
Lots of love,
Gordy

P.S. I hope my buddy Hondo feels better soon. Rubes says UTI and Constipation are no fun. He had both at one time right before Christmas this year.
We are purring for you Hondo.
We are also purring for for Tabi sister Kahlan to return home as well as Mr. D

Getting a new Kitty Cousin

Guess what? I am getting a new kitty cousin. We are super excited for her too.
She is pure bred Maine coon kitten and moms Sister in law to be and her fiance are going to pick her up Easter weekend. Oh she is so adorable and we are super excited.

Mom is putting together a cute little welcome home package for her and everything.

We will keep you updated on her
Lots of love,
Gordy

Here is a picture of it

Tagged!

Here are the rules of the game: Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Cats who are tagged, need to post in their Diary the rules & their 7 pawsome facts. Then choose 7 kitty pals to tag and list their names. Don’t forget to purr them a pmail that they have been tagged and to read your Diary or send them a fun Rosette announcing they've been Tagged!

I was tagged by my good friend Rose carter

1. I have the cutest little meow you will ever hear
2. I always run to wear I want to go and then as soon as I get there I plop down on my side. Why stand when you can lay?
3. I will eat anything
4. If there is a plastic bag in the room, I will find it, drag it out and teach it who's boss.
5. I often wake mom up in the morning by digging and chewing on her hair. I like to pull hair what can I say?
6.I have numerous beds to sleep on but at night you will always find me in my cat tree tunnel.
7. I love to torment Ruben and Misty

Mats, Poop and a bath

Mom has been fighting the ongoing battle of keeping my booty clean. I have a very fluffy butt which catches poop and then mats up. Today she woke up and started to pet me and realized I had poop up my tail and my butt. So she gave me a half bath.
I was running around shaking my paws and guess what? My tail is so tiny. It was embarrassing since I pride myself on my big fluffy tail.

So mom thinks she is going to get me a "sanitary cut" one of these days so I dont get poop on my behind anymore. Mom hates brushing back there because of the mats and I just cry and cry.

Wish me luck
Love,
Gordy

New Video

Hello Friends! Mom posted a new video of me. She realized that she must use Sleep in as one of my frames every time. What can you do? I like to sleep in.
Anyway its not one of her best videos because one of the frames moves to fast that you cant read it :(
She still thinks its cute though. It really shows you how big I am getting. So if you have time please watch it.
Lots of love,
Gordy

Norwegian forest cat or Maine coon?

Mom understands that there is no way to know for sure what breeds are in my bloodline but she thinks it would be fun to speculate what I could possibly be.
People usually think I look like a Maine coon when they see me but I know that is common for most long haired cats. Mom thinks my face looks more like a Norwegian forest cat though.
What do you guys think?
Whatever I am mom says I am adorable.
Lots of love,
Gordy

Mom needs to fill the bird feeder

It has been so boring around here lately. I am still acting a little weird around Misty (canine sister) ever since she went to the groomers last week. Batting, hissing, growling and hiding. I'm still not sure if its her or not but I'm not taking any chances. Poor Misty is so sweet that every time I growl at her she runs to mom and starts crying.

Mom has been neglecting the bird feeder since its been so cold but that means there is nothing for us to watch : ( So I have been getting into my usual mischief.

Well I have to go find something to get into
Lots of love,
Gordy Bum (mom always calls me this... Weird I know)

I Has a Valentine!

Guess What?! I finally got up the nerve to ask a very pretty kitty girl to be my Valentine and the best part is that she said yes.

Her name is Tabitha and she is sooo pretty!
Look here she is
http://www.catster.com/cats/393459
Lucky me right?
Thank you Tabi for accepting, you made me a very happy kitty.
Love,
Gordy

New cat tree!

Guess what? Mom bought us a new cat tree. We love the ones we have now but she wanted a really big one for us to climb all over.
We have been looking at cat trees for some time now and we almost bought a super cool cat tree from Armarkat but when mom seen this one she knew she had to have it.

This is it
http://www.playtimeworkshop.com/katimanjaro_cat_furnitur e.htm
86 inches tall!!! Wow!
Mom found it for over a hundred dollars cheaper on eBay but she doesn't want to talk about all of the problems eBay and stupid Paypal have given her.
Luckily Playtime workshop has the best customer service so it all worked out. It will be a few weeks before we get it but when we do I will post some new pictures.
Lots of love,
Gordy

New Year

Oh my I'm not even a year old yet but they celebrated a new year yesterday. I hope everyone had a wonderful safe new years.

The Cats Diary

Day 983 or my captivity
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.

They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash and some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I never the less must eat something in order to keep my strength.

The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomited on the carpet.
Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet.
I hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates my capabilities.
However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am. B*STARDS!

There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event.
However I could hear the noises and smell the food... I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of the "allergies". I must learn what this means and how to use it to my advantage.

Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow, but at the top of the stairs.

I am convinced that the other prisoners are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released, and seems to be more then willing to return. He is obviously retarded.

The bird must be an informant. I observed him communicating with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe.
For now...

MOL mom thought this was so funny! I know not all of us spoiled kitties think like this but its still makes you laugh.
Lots of love,
Gordy

When do we open Presents??

I have been waiting and waiting to open the presents under our cat tree (mom had to take down the Christmas tree Cause I kept trying to climb it)
Mom says I have been naughty this year but there are still presents with my name on them.

I tried to make up for my naughtiness by helping mom wrap presents tonight. First I jumped into the big bag she was putting gifts in and made sure it met my standards. Then when she kicked me out of that I grabbed the crinkly tissue paper off the table and dragged it around in the basement. I just wanted to make sure it went through my expectation first. Then I got bored and started picking on Misty. Mom hates when I pick on Misty because I make Misty bark Bark BARK.

See Misty is getting old and she doesn't see very well so I can sneak up on her pretty easy.

Christmas Cheer and Lazy days

Man have I been bored around here lately. The snow and cold makes it so mom wont open her windows. The birds haven't been visiting the bird feeder nearly as much and Gram pa wont let me climb the big green tree in the living room.
So how is a kitten supposed to keep out of mischief when there is nothing else to do? Mom has been waking up to stretched out as far as I can on her bed digging in her wreath on the wall. I am determined to get all of those ornaments down. I already took two candy cane ornaments and put them in a secret spot.
I have also been waking mom up by digging and chewing at her hair. I am just too naughty. Lucky for me I am so adorable or mom might be mad at me.
So when I'm not being naughty I am usually sleeping on the new cozy bed I got from Morgan the pirate Gato's mom's store. If you are ever looking for a cute cozy bed make sure to check out her shop. I highly recommend her. Mom is going to get Ruben one after the holidays.
Well I have to go now, A kitten has a lot of stuff to get into you know.
Lots of love,
Gordy

Here is Morgan the pirate Gato's website if any cat needs a nice cozy new bed.

2007 Christmas Gift Exchange

So yesterday was the 2007 Christmas Gift exchange. It was so much fun and was my first time opening presents.

I got some really cute catnip pillows, a cozy mat and a ton of treats from sweet Susie.

Ruben got a kitty go crazy and TWO cozy blankets from Kiki. One blankie for him and one for me.

We had so much fun and we were playing with all of our goodies all day. Thank you so much for your kindness. We love you very much and hope you have a wonderful Christmas.

I have to say thank you to Melody for my Christmas Kiss and Jingle bell. You know how to make a guy blush.

Thank you also to Mittens for my yummy snowflake. You and your brothers are so adorable.


Well I have to go get into mischief.
Lots of love,
Gordy

Snowy days and warm cuddles

It has been so cold here lately and every time mom opens the door me and Ruben shake our little paws and run. Its really funny to watch because we do it every time.
Ruben has feet problems we think because when mom found him he was standing on frozen ground. Poor little guy and now she thinks he has bad circulation in his paws because they are always really cold. Sometimes it seems like his paws hurt or like they fell asleep or something.

Anyway I have been doing pretty good. Trying the keep out of the big Christmas tree isn't as easy as you might think. I keep taking the tissue paper out of the present bags and carrying it around the house though and Grandma isn't very happy about that.

I have to say thank you to Enzo for my yummy ginger bread cookie and Tammy for her kind words and fun jingle bell.
I really appreciate it
Love,
Gordy

Thank you

I had to write and thank Hambone for my cute little snowflake that landed on my nose. I eat everything so of course I had to taste it and it was delicious.
Also thank you very much to Sterling for my cute little snowman you built me to put on my page. I will eat the yummy carrot I promise.
Lots of love,
Gordy

P.S. I will be giving out rosettes when the Christmas themed ones come out. I just cant wait for them.

Santa Says I was good!

Oh my goodness! My secret Santa says I was a good boy. I got a pretty Gold star on my page and it said I was good and that my present is on the way. See mom I told you I was being a good boy.
Thank you secret Santa! I am so excited I'm doing laps around the house.
Love always,
Gordy

Its not me being naughty mom....Its just me having fun

So now that the Christmas tree is down I have focused my attention on the big wreath that is hanging by her bed. I noticed that when she was taking down the tree she would hang her favorite ornaments on this wreath. So this morning mom was finally getting the peaceful sleep she was hoping for when down came that wreath and all of her ornaments. Well she reached over and shook the dreaded naughty cat bottle (water) and I went running. Now apparently this is what mom wants when she shakes the bottle but somehow I managed to get one of those ornaments stuck on my tail and it flew in the air across the room and shattered on the wall. I say that's what she gets since she shook the naughty cat bottle at me you know?
Mom says I better hope Santa is taking a week long nap and is missing all of this or I am getting Cole. I don't want Cole, I want catnip.
Well we will see if I can maintain my manners for the rest of the month but you can believe as soon as I open those Christmas presents I am back to my old antics.
Love,
Gordy

Bad Bad kitty?

Mom keeps saying I have not been a good little boy for Santa. I hope Santa isn't watching right now. Mom had to take down her Christmas tree because she was afraid that I would get strangled in the Christmas lights. I just couldn't keep my little paws off it no matter how hard I tried. Now all our Christmas presents are under our cat tree. I managed to unravel one almost enough to see inside but then mom got it and put it in our stocking.
Now I guess I will have to focus my attention on the big Christmas tree in the living room.
Not to mention I have been picking on Ruben lately. Mom had to move our cat tree's when she had the tree up and it put me in the perfect position to hang over the edge of the cat tree and swat at Ruben whenever he tried to eat. I mean how could I resist?
Well now I'm all pooped out from all the naughty things I have been up to. I have to go take a long nap so when mom comes home from work tonight I am all ready to get into mischief again.

Thank you!

Oh sweet little Melody left me a ball of yarn on my page. Thank you so much Melody! You look so adorable in your little lady outfit.
Love,
Gordy

I've been naughty

So mom tells me I am going to get Cole in my stocking this year. Mom put up the Christmas tree today and I was real well mannered with it until she left. When mom came home half the ornaments were on the floor and it looked like I tried to climb it. Its just a 6 foot fake tree so it cant support my body very well (I know this now) but I really want to get up to the top.
Oh well mom says Santa probably thinks I'm to cute to not bring presents too so I really don't think I have anything to worry about.
Meanwhile Ruben is such a goodie good that I cant help but pick on him. He doesn't know how to have fun.
Well I have to get to bed. Its a big day here tomorrow. Mom says people will be coming over to our house and having turkey.
I cant wait! Surly they will think I am adorable and slip me a few pieces.
Lots of love,
Gordy

Zealie balance

We looked at our Zealie balance and realized we had 55 now. Did someone give these to us? Did catster give them to us? A good friend?
Well whoever it was please know how grateful we are for them and that we really appreciate them.
Lots of love,
Gordy

yummy Drumstick

I got a super yummy Drumstick today from Zory, lucy and baby brother Adobe.
Thank you pals! It was good.
Love,
Gordy

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy

More turkey for me! Dream left me a turkey today on my page. I just have to say thank you so much for my turkey.

Meanwhile I got my first bite of real turkey today. It was just as good as I had imagined. I stood on my little hind legs and begged for it. Mom got us goodies for Christmas and put them in our stockings today. Santa claws hasn't even come yet and our stockings are full.
Mom got some good ideas for us from the catster gift ideas they sent. I want that doorknob string toy really bad.
Well I have to go.
OH and the vet found my blanket and now I have it back. I have been cuddling and kneading it all night.
Lots of love,
Gordy

My cute little mouse

I just wanted to thank Sissle for my cute little mouse she left me on my page. I will be nice to him I promise.

I also wanted to thank Pumpkin, Ricki and Sterling for the yummy turkey. My little belly is getting all filled up. Brice thank you so much for the acorn, I have been batting it around the house and my buddy Enzo for the delicious Pumpkin pie.
I love you all very much and am thankful you are my friends.
Lots of love,

WOWIE Cat of the Day!

I am so excited to be Cat of the day today. Its such an Honor to be on the front page of catster for a whole day.
Right now me and Rubes are doing laps around the house because we are so excited.
Thank you every cat for the rosettes and Messages too! I promise I will thank you all individually this week.
Lots of love,

Eventful Day

Oh man today I did all kinds of new things. Mom has this handbag that is supposed to look like a purse but its really big because its meant for a dog. I hang out in there a lot so mom decided to bring me to petco in it. She never shuts the top because she feels like I would be squished but there is a little harness clip in there so I wont jump out.
So she took me to petco and I got a new feather toy, Two bags of treats and some jingle balls plus a brand new sparkly blue harness for me.
Then we went and visited Milo's house and I got to watch their pet birds for a while.
Then we went home and tried out my new harness with a leash and I got to go outside and walk in the grass. I felt like a real wild cat until the next door neighbor came home in his noisy truck and then I wanted to go in.
So that's all for now.
Lots of love,
Gordy

So much has happened!

So I have a few new stories to tell since the last time I wrote. I am getting bigger and bigger everyday and mom needs to get some new pictures up of me. She did add a new video of me though and you can tell how big I am getting.

Yesterday I was on my daily romp through the house and I flew up towards moms bedroom window and ended up flying right trough it. The whole screen came off and mom looked outside and there i was, sitting on the grass next to the screen. Mom jumped out the window after me and is sure the neighbors think she is crazy. Lucky for us it was on the first floor so it wasn't a very far fall. It didn't really phase me and I wasn't hurt or anything but it was quit an event.

Then today I got to go on my first stroller ride. It was so much fun! I just laid there watching the birds and played with the zippers. I was really relaxed and mom was happy about that. Ruben doesn't like strolling that much and meows pretty much the whole time so mom is trying to get me used to it right away so at least one of us use it.
It was just a short walk but it was fun.
Well I have to go play in my crinkle tunnel now. Sometimes mom hides treats in there for me.
Lots of love,
Gordy

Cool!

My Video is featured on the home page which is really cool. Thank you everycat for your comments on it too and for rating it five paws.
Lots of love,

Official

Hello! Today you will never guess what I got in the mail! Mom came in and was fiddling around with my collar and when I looked down there was a shiny new ID tag on my collar. I have been wearing one of Ruben's because it has the same information except for my name. So I got a pretty Sapphire spectrum ID tag from animal stars. Ruben has the Emerald spectrum one to match his eyes.
www.animalstars.com has the coolest ID tags in the world. They really are as pretty as they look.
So now I have my very own Id with my name on it and everything. Everything has been going well here. Ruben is still being patient. He grooms me sometimes and mom thinks its really cute. He growls at me every once in a while but never bites or scratches.
Mom ordered me a cat tree special for in front of the window just like Ruben's since we don't always like to share. Mom has been going crazy with buying new things for me. She really needs to stop and start saving more money for her wedding.
Well I have to go
Lots of love,
Gordy

My new brother Rubes

So I have a new house, a new bed, a new life and a new brother who I call Rubes. He is a pretty cool guy so far. He did hiss at me once when I bit his tail and wouldn't stop but other then that he puts up with me. He even let me sleep with him in his bed. I bit his head and jumped on him and he just sat there. He is very patient and gentle with me and I appreciate it because sometimes I just get so excited I can hardly contain myself. Mom got some pictures of us together and is going to put me on my page soon.
I'm so excited to be apart of catster and make all kinds of new friends.
Lots of love,
Gordy

Feeling Better

Yesterday after I got home from the vet I took the longest nap EVER. Mom was worried about me even though the vet said i would be drowsy she just didn't think THAT drowsy. I fell to sleep while I was walking.

So me and Ruben have been getting a long well. We even played a little today. Mom makes sure to play with him and give him a lot of attention because she doesnt want him to feel bad or left out. She loves him very much you know?

My hangout spot is in the window and when Ruben comes to see me I always bonk him on the head. I don't use my claws its just a bonk. Ruben even slept on the bed with me last night. The first night I was here he slept under the bed.

Well I have to go take another kitty nap.
Love,
Gordy

Coming home and the V-E-T

Hello! My name is Gordy and I'm so glad to be here on catster. I just came home yesterday and I am such a happy kitten. I have sooo much energy that mom cant even believe it sometimes. One minute I will be running around the house and then the next I wont even be able to keep my head p because I am so tired.

Today I had to go to the vet for the first time. It was really scary but they found out I had some yeast in my ear so mom has to clean it every day and put drops in it. We are just glad it wasn't ear mites.

I have a new big brother Named Ruben. He is so good to me and has so much patients with me. I bopped him on the head once and he just sat there and looked at me. I hope I can grow up and be just like him one day.

Misty is my icky canine sister (don't tell anyone but I kinda like her) I used my claws on her once and she ran to the corner with her tail between her legs but now I kinda cling to her for some reason.

So this is the beginning of my new life. I am looking forward to learning new things and growing up here on catster.
Love,
Gordy
